Since you do not name the distro nor the CUPS version, and since you did
edit your cupsd.conf file already, we do not know the actual settings
used by your print system and we can not advice you (yet).

Please post the content of your cupsd.conf (but sans the comments, please!)
-- run this command to get it:

   grep -Ev "^$|^#" /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
